Notice the oak tree catkins on the leaves. I have never seen so many of these before. They are everywhere!
"A single oak tree produces both male and female flowers. The male flowers are tiny yellow structures that grow along a slender stalk. The stalked structure is called a catkin. The stalk with its flowers looks a bit like a yellow worm dangling from the tips of the oak branches. The female flowers are small pink to red structures that are also located near the twig tip. The male flowers produce pollen which is carried by wind to female flowers, often on a different tree. The amount of pollen produced by a large oak tree is enormous and the flowers continue producing pollen for several weeks. Unlike flowers that are pollinated by bees or other animals, the pollen of oaks floats freely in the air and is inhaled by people. Many people are allergic to oak pollen and the large amounts and long duration of oak pollen production can make oaks one of the more serious spring allergens."
~ University Of Mount Union
Unfortunately, I am one of those with an allergy to oak pollen.
Mother Nature has the US in her grasp. I hope you are all warm and safe as this continues to pass through our lives.
Quotations from Augustine of Hippo, asking for God's enlightenment. The second quote refers to:
James 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. (World English Bible, public domain.)
Thanks for looking!

trying to break an addiction to candy. I kicked candy and now seem to be stuck with quotations, which are attacking my brain instead of my teeth :-)

A few hours earlier this long rubber fisherman's walkway had been flying through the air, tossed around by the strong winds blowing across Dungeness beach. It came to rest in this serendipitous form and just had to be photographed!
I read several Twain novels when I was a teen, but I became a fan when I read his social commentary in college.
So many quotations are attributed to Twain that are things he never said nor wrote. I made sure mine were all genuine Twainisms. They can be found with many others, researched by Twain Scholar Barbara Schmidt at: www.twainquotes.com/quotesatoz.html
One of my favorite quotes, not in the image above:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

Exactly!
Thank you for your visits and comments!

One can only hope that we do not move to the Orwellian sense of light, “to the place where there is no darkness”.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

New york. Sometimes a lovable city, other times it's a monster that tries to skin you alive. For the lower class it's a home, for the upper class it is a workplace...
TOP FLOOR, WADE INDUSTRIES...
Yes I know that we spent $30,000 on helping the homeless, but how did we end up broke?!
"Remember when you told us to try to make you an Iron Man suit?"
Yeah, speaking of Iron Man suit, are you done with it yet?
"No, that is the reason that we are broke! We spent too much money on it!"
I exhale loudly to make sure that she heard me.
Find me a contract, seems like it is back to my old ways
"Yes sir, give me a few minutes"
I delicately grab the sniper rifle off of my wall.
Sorry mini-me, you'll have to wait for me to get back
You are talking to an action figure you know
I take no shame in it
Yeah! Action figures are human too!
I take a slice of pizza and eat it while I stare out of the window at the cityscape of New York City. Such a beautiful city, millions of people just trying to get to wherever they are going.
*Ring* *Ring*
"Sir?"
What is it Dolly?
"I found you a contract, her name is Pepper Potts"
Denied, I can't kill a possible business partner
"How about someone who tried to ruin the business a few years ago?"
And that would be?
"Eddie Brock"
hmmmm...
Go for it!
For the first time ever I agree with him
How much is the contract?
"$250,000"
What did this guy do?
"He attempted to murder the mayor"
Is he wanted dead or alive?
"Either of them"
Okay, I got this

I grab grab my pistol and check to make sure that it's loaded. I put my knife into the holsters on my boots.
Let's go to work!

“Life seems sometimes like nothing more than a series of losses, from beginning to end. That's the given. How you respond to those losses, what you make of what's left, that's the part you have to make up as you go.”
― Katharine Weber, The Music Lesson
A quotation printed onto tracing paper, laid over glass and light-painted with a Maglite during a 10 second exposure.
For the inner reality of man is a demarcation line between the shadow and the light, a place where the two seas meet; it is the lowest point on the arc of descent and therefore is it capable of gaining all the grades above. With education it can achieve all excellence; devoid of education it will stay on, at the lowest point of imperfection.
-Abdu'l-Baha
George Bernard Shaw quotation . It refers to my belief that we can, we must.....believe for a healthy Earth, more highly evolved Earthlings. Expecting the worst never brought good results for me, and I am determined now to believe for good things, expect good things. It's so easy to look around and see with our eyes the Earth getting sicker, the end getting closer. But we are "little pieces of God" (Wayne Dyer) , even as a drop of our blood contains our makeup (DNA). If we call upon our Creator, who loves us and all the Earth, and determine to have faith "as a grain of mustard seed".....we can turn things around! Let's try it. Let's envision a healthy planet, people who care about each other and all living things. Let's speak words of faith and positivity. Let's see the essence of God in a sunset and a tree; be still and feel HIs Presence.
I'm not a churchgoer, but I am a Believer. Who senses the impossible miracle of life, and is very grateful.
